The MiDAS “5 Steps to Safety” course involves practical and classroom based elements which provides the skills and information needed when evacuating a vehicle fire.

Then there will be a practical element where a person will be observed participating in planned evacuations of a passenger carrying vehicle both with and without the presence of smoke simulation. A person may have to be observed or participate in evacuations involving trainees role-playing passengers with disabilities or other factors that may delay or complicate an evacuation.

The objectives of the MiDAS “5 Steps to Safety” course are;

• How to recognise common causes of fire

• How to reduce the risk of vehicle fires starting

• When and how to use a fire extinguisher

• How to safely evacuate a vehicle using the 5 steps to safety
